Another set of games are in the books, which continues to give fans more perspective into which direction this squad is headed in.
The latest test was the grueling back-to-back that featured the Buffalo Sabres taking on two of the Western Conference’s best teams - the Winnipeg Jets and Minnesota Wild.
Buffalo answered the bell on Friday night with a bend but don’t break effort, which feature a 14 shot shootout – seven shots for each.
The Sabres were able to hang on and outlast the Winnipeg Jets, despite being overmatched out of the gate.
